This was an excellent, easy Sunday dinner. I'll be doing this one again!
Braised Broccoli
Put in wide shallow skillet with lid:
about 1 lb. broccoli, cut in bite-sized pieces, tender stems included
3 Tbsp. minced sweet onion or scallions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup water
Sprinkle over:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
salt
fresh-ground pepper
Cover and cook on med-high for 10 minutes. Lift lid and stir. Continue to cook without lid, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and contents are sizzling, hopefully even getting a little browned, maybe 5 minutes. Serve hot or room temperature.

This looks great. My broccoli fan is sure to love it.
I wonder about the chicken waiting in the oven before it starts to bake. What are your thoughts on this?
Sounds delicious. Broccoli needs a little something, in my opinion, and this sounds like just enough :)
Mary Anne, I don't worry about it. I wouldn't let raw meat sit out at room temperature all day, though. I take the modern food-safety standards and cross them with the old-fashioned ways and come out in the middle :) I also mix up baked oatmeal in the evening sometimes and put it on timed bake to be ready for breakfast.
